If Peppers is there at number 23 and it sounds like he very well may be I would love to see the Giants give strong consideration to this guy. Spags LOVES the 3 safety look and the thought of this guy running around hunting heads with Landon Collins is enough to give any NFL wide receive pause to go across the middle. Remember, this guy ran a 4.46 at Indy which is a full half of a tenth of a second faster than Landon Collins ran. Also, he is a flat out baller. This guy finds the ball and makes an impact when he arrives. In today's specialized world of defensive football Spags could come up with many interesting and creative ways to use this guy. Finally, if you pick him you have the best return man we have had in decades.
They use guys like Keenan Robinson, Jonathan Casillas and Landon Collins in his role.
Rumor aside, wouldn't playing for Harbough dispel attitude rumors of him trying to run the show? Just playing devils advocate, especially since I can't see that flying on Harboughs watch.
He's not the immediate need pick I'd hope for (a great offensive player, for example) but he's a difference maker.
Hard to say. But I don't see him as a three-down player.
2007 - Spags 1st year here. I don't remember much 3 safety looks. We had McQuarters spending some time in the nickel and we had another smaller/quicker nickel corner type.
2008 - We did play a lot more 3 safety looks. Big reason was that we had Kenny Phillips who was a rookie and they wanted to get him on the field.
2015 - I'm not that Spags wanted two safeties on the field as our starters for most of the year were Craig Dahl and Brandon Merriweather. I believe Trevin Wade was our nickel corner. Trying to forget that year completetly on defense.
2016 - Wade and Hall were our extra backs mostly. What do you want to call Hall? I call him an aging corner who was too slow for that position but filled in at safety occasionally due to an inexperienced UFA at safety.
There are a bunch of players that I would rather see than Peppers but I'm very confident that Spags could use Peppers and Collins in very exciting ways. That doesn't mean Spags loves the 3 safety look - it means that he is a smart enough coach to employ his talent effectively.
He's probably a better RB than S, and he's got better moves than any of the current Giant RBs. And he's a tremendous return player.
I think the Michigan player the Giants want in the first is Taco. They really want to keep their Dline fresh this year.

I'll take Wormley instead
He's not as good a SS as Collins. That's his position on Sundays if he's not moved to RB. We don't need a big nickel S. There will be about 10 other players that should project as good as he at 23. Most if not all of them at positions of greater need. No thanks.
Conclusion this year more than most, we really have little idea who that first pick will be.
Problem with me, they all sound like good ideas.
Idk if he will be available at 23 and i think we have much bigger priorites then utililty man but i would not be upset if peppers was a Giant
IMO he's too 5-6 at worst. Gone so early it won't matter. Giants have as much chance at Garret as they do w Adams. None
We have a need for a more skill-specific player at a higher level than a versatile player at his level.
He's almost a luxury pick, or one for a team that has a tight cap now and forward, has many needs so it needs better bang for the buck.
